Hi Montygram, MattLB, MMu, and everyone else concerned,
just to understand a bit better how you arrive at the rationale of your
view, I would find it interesting to know about your educational
background - what subject, what degree, which country?
Chris

I am a nutritionist/biochemist by training currently working as research
scientist on oxidative stress, ascorbate, nitric oxide and hypoxia, MSc PhD,
EU. .. but this line does not tell you much about anything.. rather judge by
the posts than by what they claim to be (anyone can claim anything anyway).
Degrees don't tell you much either way.


I tend to agree. Having a degree doesn't mean everything someone says
is true, although there is a greater chance their view is based on
direct knowledge. For the record I've a degree in physiology/nutrition
and a PhD in Biochemistry (UK), which I teach as my profession.

MattLB

The reason I believe that it is important to know if you have a PhD is
that you probably have understood how to apply the scientific method for
investigating various issues. Hardly anyone else in society has written
and defended a thesis that makes a significant contribution to knowledge.

What that actually means is that PhDs routinely rip off the American
taxpayer by participating in the colossal scam know as nutrition
research.

Most nutrition research is total crap, totally redundant, and proves
absolutely nothing.

Just thought that you might want to educate yourself.
